Forgot to share this here.

Check out my Substack at blaqkandgrimmstories.substack.com. Currently, there are a few stories available for free to subscribers. Starting in August, I will be rereleasing my self-published novel, The River's High Cost of Truth, in serialized format, under its original title. First chapter is free.

I'm on the infinite burnout loop.

Writing horror stories by hand is like a slow, tortuous burn. In all the best ways.

Forgot to share that I posted a story on Substack. It's a play on the haunted hotel, and was one of my favorite pieces I've ever written. Check it out. And if you do, tell me what you think!

Check out this flash fiction while you wait for season one. It's creepy, and caused my wife to jump into bed before I turned off the lights for weeks after reading it.

I haven't been too active on social media lately. Tell me, what's your favorite scary movie?

Anyone else finding it hard to create when the world around us is just one over-long Twilight Zone episode after another?

I'm going to need this year to calm down.

Can't sleep, and feeling a little melancholy.

Coming this May... Blaqk and Grimm Stories presents The Fiendish Menagerie. Follow us in a 6-part horror anthology, as the Maestro introduces stories of monstrosity and loss, of good and evil, and all the beauty horror can offer. These stories will be released via Substack. See comments for more.

Round of edits done. Now to type everything up, and tuning up this manuscript.

I've been reevaluating some things in my life lately. Once the anger subsided just a bit, I settled on this. I will not continue to invest my energies in a job or people who manipulate, lie to, and attempt to use me. The world is a shitshow. My life does not have to be.

Reached the halfway point in my edits. Luckily, I'm getting to my favorite parts of this story. But fuck, I forgot how tedious editing a full-length manuscript actually is.

I am pleased to announce that @proseandpumpkins.bsky.social and @brianjcummings.bsky.social are joining me in the reboot of Blaqk and Grimm Stories. We're going to make some dark magic happen. And hopefully, while we're at it, give you glorious (horrific, maybe?) stories! Stay tuned, more to come!

I did not sign up for this package. Can I hit restart and go back to the beginning?
